Canada chapter of
All Progressive Congress (APC) has thrown its weight behind the candidature of
General Muhammadu Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi osibanjo in the
forthcoming presidential election.
The Comrade Ellas
Abone led Toronto, Canada chapter of the party in a statement called on
Nigerian masses to rally their support and ensure that Buhari emerged
victorious in the February 14 general election. He said “In solidarity with the
teeming masses of Nigeria and our party the APC, we want to put on record the
unflinching support of the APC Canada chapter for the flag bearers of the APC
in the forth coming Nigerian Presidential election, General Muhammadu Buhari
and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo.” Abone maintained that the
emergence of APC as a political force in Nigeria was to give direction to
Nigeria’s political landscape as well as give hope to future generations. “ APC
has emerged to re-shape the future of the country, its political landscape and
the future generation and to act in the best interest of our nation. The true
test of the Nigerian ideal is whether we are able to recognize our failings and
then rise together to meet the challenges of our time.” He added that APC as a
party believes in the doctrine of social contract between the leaders and the
led, a doctrine that recognizes that the public office holder is a trustee of
the people and power must be used in the interest of the people rather than the
interest of the public office holder.Also speaking in similar manner, the
secretary of the chapter, Mr. Yemi Adegbite expressed that at this point in
Nigerian history, the nation needs people of impeccable and trustworthy
characters, who can redeem Nigeria from a situation he described as “the
bottomless pit” to which the ruling PDP had plunged Nigeria.insisting that the
time for change is now, Adegbite added “we do not need another four more years
of corruption, and directionless leadership of this present administration.” He
promised that the Diaspora will do all that is humanly possible to ensure that
the PDP and its “visionless and clueless” government is uprooted in Nigeria
once and for all.In his contribution, the publicity secretary of the chapter,
Mr. Bolaji Dosunmu uses this opportunity to congratulate all members of
the APC for their vision and mission of restoring the past glory of Nigeria and
making the people of Nigeria proud again by their choice of General Muhammadu
Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo. In our deed and actions,
Bolaji vowed that the chapter will continue to collaborate and do all the
needful to ensure that our party come victorious in the February 14 election
and take over the government from the party that has led Nigeria in the last
sixteen years only to penury and squalor. The Deputy Chairman Board of
Trustees, Engr.Godwin Airuoyuwa urged Nigerians to shun money politics,
expressing that for the past sixteen years of the PDP led government things
have only gotten worse; that PDP has gotten too far on this path of destruction
that they are not capable of turning back. He believes that the time for change
is now and urges all to rally behind Muhammadu Buhari to make this change
possible; he is of the opinion that Buhari is a strong and courageous leader
and one of the few Nigerian Leaders who still have the fear of God in their
hearts. Engr Godwin is convinced that Buhari will help restore law and order
for the safety of all Nigerians. He is therefore pleading with all Nigerians to
elect Muhammadu Buhari as our next president.The Board of Trustees Chairman Mr.
Bola Ajimotokan on behalf of the chapter, urges all Nigerians both in Diaspora
and Nigeria to support the wind of change that is blowing all over the country
at this moment and to rally behind General Mohammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi
Osibanjo for the change Nigerians are yearning for in order to salvage the
nation.
